Y'all are going to get so sick of my posts about cat poop, I swear it
The latest update in the "What is going on in that litterbox??" saga:
Simon didn't have a bowel movement at all on Sunday and, if I remember correctly, he didn't go on Saturday either. However, he had watery stools/diarrhea for the three days before that, so I'd imagine he was mostly "cleaned out".
He's still urinating normally, eating normally, playing when he can. There's no growling or guarding when I feel around his stomach like you'd probably expect if it was a painful constipation issue. I completely changed his litter too, on the off chance that maybe it was just too dirty for his liking. He's now had two doses of the Proviable mixed in to his breakfast, but one wouldn't think the probiotic was what was binding him up so bad.
The vet is out of the office until Tuesday because of the holiday tomorrow, so I guess I'm just needing some reassurance that it's normal for cats to not have a bowel movement for a few days after a bout of diarrhea - and that I just need to wait it out and he'll go on his own.
